SUMMARY:Chicago Grappling & BJJ Championship - Oak Lawn\, IL
DESCRIPTION:Tournament Information\n									Registration\n									Prizes\n									Schedule\n									Divisions\n									Travel\n							\n			\n									Tournament Information\n					Location:KreissporthalleZeppelinstrasse 3965549 Limburg\, Germany \nCOVID RELATED PROTOCOLInformation related to Covid-19 procedures will be posted here the week of the tournament based on the mandates in place at that time. Any information listed here will be the most accurate information about this tournament. Please note that a limit on the number of registrations is always a possibility. It is the last thing we want to do but it is sometimes required. Please make sure to register early to get into this tournament. \nUSING MULTIPLE SESSIONSDuring Covid we have needed to use a tournament model based on having multiple sessions in order to meet mandated occupancy limits. The use of sessions allows competitors to have multiple family and friends come to the tournament to support them (though some venues do limit competitors to one spectator no matter what occupancy limits are in place). A schedule of sessions will be posted the week of the tournament once we know the number of competitors and the current occupancy limit (which very well might differ from what it was when the tournament was first planned). You will not be allowed entry into the venue until your session is up. You will have a designated check-in/weigh-in time when you can enter the venue. Once you are done competing we ask that you leave the venue. Once all matches are done in a session we will clear out the venue and then allow in the next session. Those who have family members that are in different session\, no worries\, we will make sure you are set to cheer them all on. \nFAMILY RATESWe understand it can be expensive having multiple family members train and then compete. NAGA does offer some relief to families who have multiple family members compete in the same NAGA tournament. The discount only applies to competitors\, not spectators. When registering a family\, you will register each competitor then enter a coupon code at the payment screen. For 2 family members the discount is $20\, 3 members is $40\, 4 members $60\, and so on.FAMILY RATES ARE ONLY VALID FOR THE FOLLOWING: A parent paying for themselves and their minor child or children (under the age of 18)\, a parent paying for their minor children (under the age of 18).In order to obtain a family discount you must call our office at 860.537.3686\, Monday through Friday\, between the hours of 9AM and 5PM EST. We will provide you the code. If you reach our voicemail please leave your name\, number\, the tournament you are registering for\, and the number of family members competing. We will leave you a message with the code if we reach your voicemail.In Smoothcomp\, you need to register and pay for each competitor individually. Please enter the coupon code into only one registration. The code will cover the family discount. \n\n\nGET YOUR GRAPPLING GEAR AT THE TOURNAMENTNAGA is bringing a truckload of grappling gear (Board shorts\, gi bags\, rash guards\, t-shirts\, hats\, gi hoodies\, patches\, skull caps\, stickers\, dog tags\, etc.) in children and adults sizes\, for males and females.

SUMMARY:Pittsburgh Grappling & BJJ Championship - Cheswick\, PA
DESCRIPTION:Tournament Information\n									Registration\n									Prizes\n									Schedule\n									Divisions\n									Travel\n							\n			\n									Tournament Information\n					Location:KreissporthalleZeppelinstrasse 3965549 Limburg\, Germany \nCOVID RELATED PROTOCOLInformation related to Covid-19 procedures will be posted here the week of the tournament based on the mandates in place at that time. Any information listed here will be the most accurate information about this tournament. Please note that a limit on the number of registrations is always a possibility. It is the last thing we want to do but it is sometimes required. Please make sure to register early to get into this tournament. \nUSING MULTIPLE SESSIONSDuring Covid we have needed to use a tournament model based on having multiple sessions in order to meet mandated occupancy limits. The use of sessions allows competitors to have multiple family and friends come to the tournament to support them (though some venues do limit competitors to one spectator no matter what occupancy limits are in place). A schedule of sessions will be posted the week of the tournament once we know the number of competitors and the current occupancy limit (which very well might differ from what it was when the tournament was first planned). You will not be allowed entry into the venue until your session is up. You will have a designated check-in/weigh-in time when you can enter the venue. Once you are done competing we ask that you leave the venue. Once all matches are done in a session we will clear out the venue and then allow in the next session. Those who have family members that are in different session\, no worries\, we will make sure you are set to cheer them all on. \nFAMILY RATESWe understand it can be expensive having multiple family members train and then compete. NAGA does offer some relief to families who have multiple family members compete in the same NAGA tournament. The discount only applies to competitors\, not spectators. When registering a family\, you will register each competitor then enter a coupon code at the payment screen. For 2 family members the discount is $20\, 3 members is $40\, 4 members $60\, and so on.FAMILY RATES ARE ONLY VALID FOR THE FOLLOWING: A parent paying for themselves and their minor child or children (under the age of 18)\, a parent paying for their minor children (under the age of 18).In order to obtain a family discount you must call our office at 860.537.3686\, Monday through Friday\, between the hours of 9AM and 5PM EST. We will provide you the code. If you reach our voicemail please leave your name\, number\, the tournament you are registering for\, and the number of family members competing. We will leave you a message with the code if we reach your voicemail.In Smoothcomp\, you need to register and pay for each competitor individually. Please enter the coupon code into only one registration. The code will cover the family discount. \n\n\nGET YOUR GRAPPLING GEAR AT THE TOURNAMENTNAGA is bringing a truckload of grappling gear (Board shorts\, gi bags\, rash guards\, t-shirts\, hats\, gi hoodies\, patches\, skull caps\, stickers\, dog tags\, etc.) in children and adults sizes\, for males and females. Check out the huge selection of gear and apparel at the NAGA tournament. \nCOME JOIN OUR TEAMEach year NAGA runs over 65 tournament a year across the world. We are always looking for new staff members to join the NAGA team. If you are interested in becoming a referee\, ring coordinator\, security\, weigh-in\, awards\, or photographer email us at info@nagafighter.com. Please note that if you are working the tournament you will not be able to compete at that tournament. \n\n\n									Registration\n					NAGA EARLY REGISTRATION – $10 OFF COUPONIn celebration of our 26th anniversary we are offering $10 off to all competitors who register by midnight on April 28th\, 2021.

Please Note: Only one coupon code can be used at checkout per competitor per tournament. \nREGISTRATION/BRACKETING USING SMOOTHCOMPNAGA uses the Smoothcomp tournament management system for registration and bracketing. Smoothcomp is a tournament management system that allows you to register and pay for a tournament online. The system will generate brackets and at the tournament keep you updated on what time and which mat you will be competing\, all in real time.If you have competed in a Smoothcomp tournament in the past you can login to Smoothcomp with those login credentials and register for a tournament. If this is the first time you are using Smoothcomp you will need to create an account with them before you can register for a NAGA tournament. Brackets are posted on Friday night. It is possible that some competitors are not placed into a bracket. The reason for this is that we need to speak with you to before placing you into a division. \nCHANGING WEIGHT DIVISION OR SKILL LEVEL AFTER REGISTERINGDue to changes in your weight or just a simple mistake of entering the incorrect weight or skill level when registering\, you may need to change them.

A schedule of sessions will be posted the week of the tournament once we know the number of competitors and the current occupancy limit (which very well might differ from what it was when the tournament was first planned). You will not be allowed entry into the venue until your session is up. You will have a designated check-in/weigh-in time when you can enter the venue. Once you are done competing we ask that you leave the venue. Once all matches are done in a session we will clear out the venue and then allow in the next session. Those who have family members that are in different session\, no worries\, we will make sure you are set to cheer them all on. \nFAMILY RATESWe understand it can be expensive having multiple family members train and then compete.

SUMMARY:Germany Grappling & BJJ Championship - Limburg\, Germany
DESCRIPTION:Tournament Information\n									Registration\n									Prizes\n									Schedule\n									Divisions\n									Travel\n							\n			\n									Tournament Information\n					Location:KreissporthalleZeppelinstrasse 3965549 Limburg\, Germany \nCOVID RELATED PROTOCOLInformation related to Covid-19 procedures will be posted here the week of the tournament based on the mandates in place at that time. Any information listed here will be the most accurate information about this tournament. Please note that a limit on the number of registrations is always a possibility. It is the last thing we want to do but it is sometimes required. Please make sure to register early to get into this tournament. \nUSING MULTIPLE SESSIONSDuring Covid we have needed to use a tournament model based on having multiple sessions in order to meet mandated occupancy limits. The use of sessions allows competitors to have multiple family and friends come to the tournament to support them (though some venues do limit competitors to one spectator no matter what occupancy limits are in place). A schedule of sessions will be posted the week of the tournament once we know the number of competitors and the current occupancy limit (which very well might differ from what it was when the tournament was first planned). You will not be allowed entry into the venue until your session is up. You will have a designated check-in/weigh-in time when you can enter the venue. Once you are done competing we ask that you leave the venue. Once all matches are done in a session we will clear out the venue and then allow in the next session. Those who have family members that are in different session\, no worries\, we will make sure you are set to cheer them all on. \nFAMILY RATESWe understand it can be expensive having multiple family members train and then compete. NAGA does offer some relief to families who have multiple family members compete in the same NAGA tournament. The discount only applies to competitors\, not spectators. When registering a family\, you will register each competitor then enter a coupon code at the payment screen. For 2 family members the discount is $20\, 3 members is $40\, 4 members $60\, and so on.FAMILY RATES ARE ONLY VALID FOR THE FOLLOWING: A parent paying for themselves and their minor child or children (under the age of 18)\, a parent paying for their minor children (under the age of 18).In order to obtain a family discount you must call our office at 860.537.3686\, Monday through Friday\, between the hours of 9AM and 5PM EST. We will provide you the code. If you reach our voicemail please leave your name\, number\, the tournament you are registering for\, and the number of family members competing. We will leave you a message with the code if we reach your voicemail.In Smoothcomp\, you need to register and pay for each competitor individually. Please enter the coupon code into only one registration. The code will cover the family discount. \n\n\nGET YOUR GRAPPLING GEAR AT THE TOURNAMENTNAGA is bringing a truckload of grappling gear (Board shorts\, gi bags\, rash guards\, t-shirts\, hats\, gi hoodies\, patches\, skull caps\, stickers\, dog tags\, etc.) in children and adults sizes\, for males and females. Check out the huge selection of gear and apparel at the NAGA tournament. \nCOME JOIN OUR TEAMEach year NAGA runs over 65 tournament a year across the world. We are always looking for new staff members to join the NAGA team.

SUMMARY:Little Rock Grappling & BJJ Championship - Little Rock\, AR
DESCRIPTION:Tournament Information\n									Registration\n									Prizes\n									Schedule\n									Divisions\n									Travel\n							\n			\n									Tournament Information\n					Location:KreissporthalleZeppelinstrasse 3965549 Limburg\, Germany \nCOVID RELATED PROTOCOLInformation related to Covid-19 procedures will be posted here the week of the tournament based on the mandates in place at that time. Any information listed here will be the most accurate information about this tournament. Please note that a limit on the number of registrations is always a possibility. It is the last thing we want to do but it is sometimes required. Please make sure to register early to get into this tournament. \nUSING MULTIPLE SESSIONSDuring Covid we have needed to use a tournament model based on having multiple sessions in order to meet mandated occupancy limits. The use of sessions allows competitors to have multiple family and friends come to the tournament to support them (though some venues do limit competitors to one spectator no matter what occupancy limits are in place). A schedule of sessions will be posted the week of the tournament once we know the number of competitors and the current occupancy limit (which very well might differ from what it was when the tournament was first planned). You will not be allowed entry into the venue until your session is up. You will have a designated check-in/weigh-in time when you can enter the venue. Once you are done competing we ask that you leave the venue. Once all matches are done in a session we will clear out the venue and then allow in the next session. Those who have family members that are in different session\, no worries\, we will make sure you are set to cheer them all on. \nFAMILY RATESWe understand it can be expensive having multiple family members train and then compete. NAGA does offer some relief to families who have multiple family members compete in the same NAGA tournament. The discount only applies to competitors\, not spectators. When registering a family\, you will register each competitor then enter a coupon code at the payment screen. For 2 family members the discount is $20\, 3 members is $40\, 4 members $60\, and so on.FAMILY RATES ARE ONLY VALID FOR THE FOLLOWING: A parent paying for themselves and their minor child or children (under the age of 18)\, a parent paying for their minor children (under the age of 18).In order to obtain a family discount you must call our office at 860.537.3686\, Monday through Friday\, between the hours of 9AM and 5PM EST. We will provide you the code. If you reach our voicemail please leave your name\, number\, the tournament you are registering for\, and the number of family members competing. We will leave you a message with the code if we reach your voicemail.In Smoothcomp\, you need to register and pay for each competitor individually. Please enter the coupon code into only one registration. The code will cover the family discount. \n\n\nGET YOUR GRAPPLING GEAR AT THE TOURNAMENTNAGA is bringing a truckload of grappling gear (Board shorts\, gi bags\, rash guards\, t-shirts\, hats\, gi hoodies\, patches\, skull caps\, stickers\, dog tags\, etc.) in children and adults sizes\, for males and females. Check out the huge selection of gear and apparel at the NAGA tournament. \nCOME JOIN OUR TEAMEach year NAGA runs over 65 tournament a year across the world. We are always looking for new staff members to join the NAGA team. If you are interested in becoming a referee\, ring coordinator\, security\, weigh-in\, awards\, or photographer email us at info@nagafighter.com. Please note that if you are working the tournament you will not be able to compete at that tournament. \n\n\n									Registration\n					NAGA EARLY REGISTRATION – $10 OFF COUPONIn celebration of our 26th anniversary we are offering $10 off to all competitors who register by midnight on April 28th\, 2021.

DESCRIPTION:Tournament Information\n									Registration\n									Prizes\n									Schedule\n									Divisions\n									Travel\n							\n			\n									Tournament Information\n					Location:KreissporthalleZeppelinstrasse 3965549 Limburg\, Germany \nCOVID RELATED PROTOCOLInformation related to Covid-19 procedures will be posted here the week of the tournament based on the mandates in place at that time. Any information listed here will be the most accurate information about this tournament. Please note that a limit on the number of registrations is always a possibility. It is the last thing we want to do but it is sometimes required. Please make sure to register early to get into this tournament. \nUSING MULTIPLE SESSIONSDuring Covid we have needed to use a tournament model based on having multiple sessions in order to meet mandated occupancy limits. The use of sessions allows competitors to have multiple family and friends come to the tournament to support them (though some venues do limit competitors to one spectator no matter what occupancy limits are in place). A schedule of sessions will be posted the week of the tournament once we know the number of competitors and the current occupancy limit (which very well might differ from what it was when the tournament was first planned). You will not be allowed entry into the venue until your session is up. You will have a designated check-in/weigh-in time when you can enter the venue. Once you are done competing we ask that you leave the venue. Once all matches are done in a session we will clear out the venue and then allow in the next session. Those who have family members that are in different session\, no worries\, we will make sure you are set to cheer them all on. \nFAMILY RATESWe understand it can be expensive having multiple family members train and then compete. NAGA does offer some relief to families who have multiple family members compete in the same NAGA tournament. The discount only applies to competitors\, not spectators. When registering a family\, you will register each competitor then enter a coupon code at the payment screen. For 2 family members the discount is $20\, 3 members is $40\, 4 members $60\, and so on.FAMILY RATES ARE ONLY VALID FOR THE FOLLOWING: A parent paying for themselves and their minor child or children (under the age of 18)\, a parent paying for their minor children (under the age of 18).In order to obtain a family discount you must call our office at 860.537.3686\, Monday through Friday\, between the hours of 9AM and 5PM EST. We will provide you the code. If you reach our voicemail please leave your name\, number\, the tournament you are registering for\, and the number of family members competing. We will leave you a message with the code if we reach your voicemail.In Smoothcomp\, you need to register and pay for each competitor individually. Please enter the coupon code into only one registration. The code will cover the family discount. \n\n\nGET YOUR GRAPPLING GEAR AT THE TOURNAMENTNAGA is bringing a truckload of grappling gear (Board shorts\, gi bags\, rash guards\, t-shirts\, hats\, gi hoodies\, patches\, skull caps\, stickers\, dog tags\, etc.) in children and adults sizes\, for males and females.

SUMMARY:Virginia Beach Grappling & BJJ Championship - VA Beach\, VA
DESCRIPTION:Tournament Information\n									Registration\n									Prizes\n									Schedule\n									Divisions\n									Travel\n							\n			\n									Tournament Information\n					Location:KreissporthalleZeppelinstrasse 3965549 Limburg\, Germany \nCOVID RELATED PROTOCOLInformation related to Covid-19 procedures will be posted here the week of the tournament based on the mandates in place at that time. Any information listed here will be the most accurate information about this tournament. Please note that a limit on the number of registrations is always a possibility. It is the last thing we want to do but it is sometimes required. Please make sure to register early to get into this tournament. \nUSING MULTIPLE SESSIONSDuring Covid we have needed to use a tournament model based on having multiple sessions in order to meet mandated occupancy limits. The use of sessions allows competitors to have multiple family and friends come to the tournament to support them (though some venues do limit competitors to one spectator no matter what occupancy limits are in place). A schedule of sessions will be posted the week of the tournament once we know the number of competitors and the current occupancy limit (which very well might differ from what it was when the tournament was first planned). You will not be allowed entry into the venue until your session is up. You will have a designated check-in/weigh-in time when you can enter the venue. Once you are done competing we ask that you leave the venue. Once all matches are done in a session we will clear out the venue and then allow in the next session. Those who have family members that are in different session\, no worries\, we will make sure you are set to cheer them all on. \nFAMILY RATESWe understand it can be expensive having multiple family members train and then compete. NAGA does offer some relief to families who have multiple family members compete in the same NAGA tournament. The discount only applies to competitors\, not spectators. When registering a family\, you will register each competitor then enter a coupon code at the payment screen. For 2 family members the discount is $20\, 3 members is $40\, 4 members $60\, and so on.FAMILY RATES ARE ONLY VALID FOR THE FOLLOWING: A parent paying for themselves and their minor child or children (under the age of 18)\, a parent paying for their minor children (under the age of 18).In order to obtain a family discount you must call our office at 860.537.3686\, Monday through Friday\, between the hours of 9AM and 5PM EST. We will provide you the code. If you reach our voicemail please leave your name\, number\, the tournament you are registering for\, and the number of family members competing. We will leave you a message with the code if we reach your voicemail.In Smoothcomp\, you need to register and pay for each competitor individually. Please enter the coupon code into only one registration. The code will cover the family discount. \n\n\nGET YOUR GRAPPLING GEAR AT THE TOURNAMENTNAGA is bringing a truckload of grappling gear (Board shorts\, gi bags\, rash guards\, t-shirts\, hats\, gi hoodies\, patches\, skull caps\, stickers\, dog tags\, etc.) in children and adults sizes\, for males and females. Check out the huge selection of gear and apparel at the NAGA tournament. \nCOME JOIN OUR TEAMEach year NAGA runs over 65 tournament a year across the world. We are always looking for new staff members to join the NAGA team. If you are interested in becoming a referee\, ring coordinator\, security\, weigh-in\, awards\, or photographer email us at info@nagafighter.com. Please note that if you are working the tournament you will not be able to compete at that tournament. \n\n\n									Registration\n					NAGA EARLY REGISTRATION – $10 OFF COUPONIn celebration of our 26th anniversary we are offering $10 off to all competitors who register by midnight on April 28th\, 2021.

Please Note: Only one coupon code can be used at checkout per competitor per tournament. \nREGISTRATION/BRACKETING USING SMOOTHCOMPNAGA uses the Smoothcomp tournament management system for registration and bracketing. Smoothcomp is a tournament management system that allows you to register and pay for a tournament online. The system will generate brackets and at the tournament keep you updated on what time and which mat you will be competing\, all in real time.If you have competed in a Smoothcomp tournament in the past you can login to Smoothcomp with those login credentials and register for a tournament. If this is the first time you are using Smoothcomp you will need to create an account with them before you can register for a NAGA tournament. Brackets are posted on Friday night. It is possible that some competitors are not placed into a bracket.

A schedule of sessions will be posted the week of the tournament once we know the number of competitors and the current occupancy limit (which very well might differ from what it was when the tournament was first planned). You will not be allowed entry into the venue until your session is up. You will have a designated check-in/weigh-in time when you can enter the venue. Once you are done competing we ask that you leave the venue. Once all matches are done in a session we will clear out the venue and then allow in the next session. Those who have family members that are in different session\, no worries\, we will make sure you are set to cheer them all on. \nFAMILY RATESWe understand it can be expensive having multiple family members train and then compete.

SUMMARY:Boston Grappling & BJJ Championship - Hanover\, MA
DESCRIPTION:Tournament Information\n									Registration\n									Prizes\n									Schedule\n									Divisions\n									Travel\n							\n			\n									Tournament Information\n					Location:KreissporthalleZeppelinstrasse 3965549 Limburg\, Germany \nCOVID RELATED PROTOCOLInformation related to Covid-19 procedures will be posted here the week of the tournament based on the mandates in place at that time. Any information listed here will be the most accurate information about this tournament. Please note that a limit on the number of registrations is always a possibility. It is the last thing we want to do but it is sometimes required. Please make sure to register early to get into this tournament. \nUSING MULTIPLE SESSIONSDuring Covid we have needed to use a tournament model based on having multiple sessions in order to meet mandated occupancy limits. The use of sessions allows competitors to have multiple family and friends come to the tournament to support them (though some venues do limit competitors to one spectator no matter what occupancy limits are in place). A schedule of sessions will be posted the week of the tournament once we know the number of competitors and the current occupancy limit (which very well might differ from what it was when the tournament was first planned). You will not be allowed entry into the venue until your session is up. You will have a designated check-in/weigh-in time when you can enter the venue. Once you are done competing we ask that you leave the venue. Once all matches are done in a session we will clear out the venue and then allow in the next session. Those who have family members that are in different session\, no worries\, we will make sure you are set to cheer them all on. \nFAMILY RATESWe understand it can be expensive having multiple family members train and then compete. NAGA does offer some relief to families who have multiple family members compete in the same NAGA tournament. The discount only applies to competitors\, not spectators. When registering a family\, you will register each competitor then enter a coupon code at the payment screen. For 2 family members the discount is $20\, 3 members is $40\, 4 members $60\, and so on.FAMILY RATES ARE ONLY VALID FOR THE FOLLOWING: A parent paying for themselves and their minor child or children (under the age of 18)\, a parent paying for their minor children (under the age of 18).In order to obtain a family discount you must call our office at 860.537.3686\, Monday through Friday\, between the hours of 9AM and 5PM EST. We will provide you the code. If you reach our voicemail please leave your name\, number\, the tournament you are registering for\, and the number of family members competing. We will leave you a message with the code if we reach your voicemail.In Smoothcomp\, you need to register and pay for each competitor individually. Please enter the coupon code into only one registration. The code will cover the family discount. \n\n\nGET YOUR GRAPPLING GEAR AT THE TOURNAMENTNAGA is bringing a truckload of grappling gear (Board shorts\, gi bags\, rash guards\, t-shirts\, hats\, gi hoodies\, patches\, skull caps\, stickers\, dog tags\, etc.) in children and adults sizes\, for males and females. Check out the huge selection of gear and apparel at the NAGA tournament. \nCOME JOIN OUR TEAMEach year NAGA runs over 65 tournament a year across the world. We are always looking for new staff members to join the NAGA team. If you are interested in becoming a referee\, ring coordinator\, security\, weigh-in\, awards\, or photographer email us at info@nagafighter.com. Please note that if you are working the tournament you will not be able to compete at that tournament. \n\n\n									Registration\n					NAGA EARLY REGISTRATION – $10 OFF COUPONIn celebration of our 26th anniversary we are offering $10 off to all competitors who register by midnight on April 28th\, 2021. Simply enter 2022GERMANY and $10 will be discounted from your overall fee. Please Note: Only one coupon code can be used at checkout per competitor per tournament. \nREGISTRATION/BRACKETING USING SMOOTHCOMPNAGA uses the Smoothcomp tournament management system for registration and bracketing. Smoothcomp is a tournament management system that allows you to register and pay for a tournament online. The system will generate brackets and at the tournament keep you updated on what time and which mat you will be competing\, all in real time.If you have competed in a Smoothcomp tournament in the past you can login to Smoothcomp with those login credentials and register for a tournament. If this is the first time you are using Smoothcomp you will need to create an account with them before you can register for a NAGA tournament. Brackets are posted on Friday night. It is possible that some competitors are not placed into a bracket. The reason for this is that we need to speak with you to before placing you into a division. \nCHANGING WEIGHT DIVISION OR SKILL LEVEL AFTER REGISTERINGDue to changes in your weight or just a simple mistake of entering the incorrect weight or skill level when registering\, you may need to change them. You can do so from your Smoothcomp account.

It is the last thing we want to do but it is sometimes required. Please make sure to register early to get into this tournament. \nUSING MULTIPLE SESSIONSDuring Covid we have needed to use a tournament model based on having multiple sessions in order to meet mandated occupancy limits. The use of sessions allows competitors to have multiple family and friends come to the tournament to support them (though some venues do limit competitors to one spectator no matter what occupancy limits are in place). A schedule of sessions will be posted the week of the tournament once we know the number of competitors and the current occupancy limit (which very well might differ from what it was when the tournament was first planned). You will not be allowed entry into the venue until your session is up. You will have a designated check-in/weigh-in time when you can enter the venue. Once you are done competing we ask that you leave the venue. Once all matches are done in a session we will clear out the venue and then allow in the next session. Those who have family members that are in different session\, no worries\, we will make sure you are set to cheer them all on. \nFAMILY RATESWe understand it can be expensive having multiple family members train and then compete. NAGA does offer some relief to families who have multiple family members compete in the same NAGA tournament. The discount only applies to competitors\, not spectators.
